QUESTION 1 – Nel & Kristen (2020), Chapter 2
1.1 Introduction
The key ingredients of employment relations dynamics involve a shift from a strictly
tripartite perspective to a multipartite perspective. This shift critically discusses the
changing boundaries and emphasizes the inclusion of multiple stakeholders beyond
just employers, employees, and the State.
1.2 Overview of the role-players and stakeholders in employment relations.
In employment relations, the role-players and stakeholders extend beyond the
traditional tripartite framework to include various actors. Employer parties, employee
parties, and the State remain central, but additional stakeholders such as trade unions,

Olivetti, 2021). Does a low-paid employee have the same level of power when
discussing workplace issues as the manager or business owner? How do these power
